Chapter 655
Sseuuuu...!
In addition to suffering breathing issues, the Mandate of Heaven Guild members\' skin broke out into hives as well.
“Ack! Aaaack!”
“Argh! M-My skin! My skin is boiling!”
“Aaaaack!”
It was a horrible sight. This was just a game, but the way their skin had broken out in hives before melting away looked extremely gory.
“Those crazy bastards...” Siegfried growled and gnashed his teeth after realizing what was going on.
The World Peace Conference had strictly banned the injection of gas into mortar shells due to their deadliness, so most nations on the continent didn\'t put gas or napalm into their mortar shells.
However, the Oberg Guild had clearly ignored those laws and had injected poisonous gas into their mortar shells.
“I know this is a war between Adventurers, but this is just...” Siegfried growled in anger.
Unfortunately, the ban only applied to wars between NPCs.
There were no restrictions in a war between players.
“Oppa! What should we do?!”
“What else?! We’re going to keep going! We will suffer even more casualties if we retreat now! Just keep pushing!”
“Kyuuuu!”
Siegfried and Hamchi ran as fast as they could toward the Golden Country.
“Charge! Chaaarge!” Yong Tae-Pung exclaimed at the top of his lungs, commanding his troops to press the attack. It seemed that he was also aware that retreat was no longer an option for them.
Boom! Boom!
The next wave of bombardment came crashing toward them, spreading red-hot flames everywhere. In addition to using poisonous gas, they were using napalm bombs as well.
‘Oh? So that’s how you wanna play?’ Siegfried thought, flashing a sinister grin. He ran as fast as he could toward the enemy, but a few Oberg Guild members suddenly blocked his path.
“Where do you think you’re going?!”
“Scram! You low life!”
“Do you think we’re just going to let you run around as you wish?”
“Does this punk have a death wish?!”
Each of them was wearing a mask connected to a gas tank on their back.
‘What’s that? Is that some kind of gas mask?’ Siegfried wondered.
They looked exactly like firemen wearing oxygen tanks.
‘Oh well, their masks might save them from poison, but it’s not going to save them from death,’ Siegfried thought with a shrug before placing down Blaze Field and Shadow Hell. Then, he clenched his +13 Vanquisher’s Grasp and slammed it into the ground, using Splitting Heaven and Earth at the Oberg Guild members.
Krwaaaang!
Splitting Heaven and Earth shot forward in a fan shape and swept the Oberg Guild members away.
“Kyuuu! Good job, owner punk! You got this!” Hamchi exclaimed, cheering him on.
Sseuuuu...!
The dust kicked up by Splitting Heaven and Earth settled, and the aftermath slowly became visible.
“W-What? Why aren’t they dead?” Siegfried muttered, doubting his own eyes.
The victims of Splitting Heaven and Earth started getting up one by one, and they still had around thirty percent HP remaining. However, what was really shocking was the fact that their HP was recovering at a rate of fifty percent per second.
“Hey! What’s with that regeneration?! Are you guys some kind of new zombies?!” Siegfried exclaimed, shocked by their monstrous regeneration.
Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!
Meanwhile, the Oberg Guild members seemed to be drinking something through the hose attached to their masks.
‘No way? Is it possible that’s...?’ Siegfried thought, suspecting that the gas mask was not actually connected to an oxygen tank.
The cylinder looked like an oxygen tank at first glance, but it seemed to be a container filled with Topaz Potion.
[Doping Gas Mask Set]
[A defensive artifact crafted by the dark blacksmith organization, Death Crafters, led by Avant.]
[The cylinder contains Topaz Potion that is supplied to the user through the hose. It can be filled with other liquids aside from the Topaz Potion.]
[Type: Helmet]
[Rating: Unique]
[Effects: +1,000% HP Regeneration, +300 Poison Resistance, +25% Defense]
[Note: It is extremely durable]
[Warning: This artifact requires a lot of gold to maintain]
“These bastards dare to...” Siegfried growled in anger.
He was really angry right now, but he wasn\'t angry at the Oberg Guild being cowards or whatever.
“You dare waste money?!”
He was angry because the Oberg Guild members were drinking the expensive Topaz Potion as if it were mere water.
“Prepare to die.”
“Haha!”
“Do you know the meaning of immortality?”
Thanks to the Topaz Potion that they were drinking like water, the Oberg Guild members rose up like a bunch of zombies and walked confidently toward Siegfried.
***
The Oberg Guild used biological warfare and Doping Gas Masks against the Mandate of Heaven Guild.
“Bring it on, you scum!”
“I’ll kill you all!”
The Doping Gas Mask allowed the Oberg Guild members to endlessly recover their HP against the Mandate of Heaven Guild members as long as there was enough Topaz Potion.
They were so strong that they could be considered overpowered, as their HP remained stubborn and wouldn\'t go down at all despite taking many attacks.
But that was not all...
Wooong!
Chae Hyung-Seok was now back in action, and he cast his wide area buff to further empower the Oberg Guild members.
Unfortunately, that wasn\'t the end of the Oberg Guild members’ power-ups.
Gulp! Gulp!
The cylinder on their backs contained not only the Topaz Potion but Adrenaline Concentrate as well, which increased their combat prowess by two hundred percent. In exchange, they would suffer from severe consequences later, but that wasn\'t important.
The artifacts crafted by the Death Crafters focused only on maximizing the user’s power to cause as much bloodshed as possible.
“Ack!”
“T-These bastards are too strong!”
“W-Where are our Buffers?!”
The Mandate of Heaven Guild was losing one-sidedly against the buffed Oberg Guild.
The combination of Chae Hyung-Seok’s buffs, the Topaz Potion, and the Adrenaline Concentrate turned the Oberg Guild members into monsters that easily bulldozed through the Mandate of Heaven Guild.
“Why don’t we have a powerful Buffer on our side...?”
One of the Mandate of Heaven Guild members muttered in despair.
Siegfried looked around the battlefield and growled under his breath, “...You leave me no choice.”
“Ack!”
“Kuheok!”
“S-Save me!”
“Heeelp!”
The battlefield was filled with the desperate and agonized screams of the Mandate of Heaven Guild members.
“Bwahahaha!”
“Mmpff! Aaaaack! Arghhhh!”
One of the Oberg Guild members grabbed a Mandate of Heaven Guild member by the hair and dunked the latter\'s entire body into the hot spring, which was boiling with water and sulfur.
“You’re really... Making me mad...” Siegfried growled in anger.
Woooong!
He placed down Blaze Field and Shadow Hell to cover as much area as possible.
C-Crack!
The +10 Real Quad-Turbo Set repaired for him by Yong Seol-Hwa showed hairline cracks at once, but that did not stop him.
Flaaaaash!
A powerful blue pulse wave spread throughout the entire Golden Country, causing a string of messages to pop up right in front of the eyes of every Oberg Guild member.
[Alert: Dispel!]
[Alert: You have been affected by Dispel!]
[Alert: All of your buffs have been nullified!]
[Alert: You will not receive any buffs for 120 seconds!]
[Alert: 119 seconds remaining!]
[Alert: 118... 117... 116...!]
The Wave of Truth amplified by Discharge that was unleashed by Siegfried stripped the Oberg Guild members of their buffs, and the result of that was...
“Push them back!”
“They’re debuffed!”
“Kill them!”
“It’s our turn now!”
The tides of the battle completely shifted to the Mandate of Heaven’s side after the powerful debuff cast by Siegfried.
However, he paid an expensive price for it.
Craaaack!
The +10 Real Quad-Turbo Set shattered into pieces.
[Alert: The durability of your +10 Real Quad-Turbo Set has been reduced to 0!]
[Alert: Your item has been destroyed!]
The combination of Discharge and Wave of Truth was far too powerful that it ended up destroying his newly crafted and repaired +10 Real Quad-Turbo Set.
“So you forced me to suffer a loss...” Siegfried muttered as his face twisted into something so sinister that even vengeful spirits would forget about their vengeance and scurry away after seeing him.
“Kyu? O-Owner punk...? Are you okay?” Hamchi called out, sounding both nervous and scared.
“Don’t even think about trying to stop me today,” Siegfried muttered under his breath. He dragged his +13 Vanquisher’s Grasp across the ground and started walking toward the Oberg Guild members.
Then, a massacre occurred in the Golden Country.
***
Siegfried didn\'t face the Oberg Guild members head-on.
‘These damned tanks are the problem, right?’
Rather than attacking the Adventurers themselves, he went after the tanks on their backs, which were filled with the Topaz Potion and Adrenaline Concentrate.
Baaaam!
A tank filled with the Topaz Potion and Adrenaline Concentrate would burst whenever Siegfried swung his +13 Vanquisher’s Grasp.
Chwaaak!
The Topaz Potion and Adrenaline Concentrate spilled on the ground.
Siegfried would leave right after smashing the tanks on their back and head for the next target. He didn\'t bother attacking them, as something else would kill them.
Sseuuuu...!
Their killer was Irradiate, and Siegfried was no different from a human eraser while it was active.
“K-Kuheok?!”
“T-This poison is too strong...!”
“It got through my gas mask?! How?!”
The Oberg Guild members dropped like flies after getting exposed to Irradiate.
“You can wear as many gas masks as you want, but it’s not going to work,” Siegfried said with a smirk.
The green fog he was releasing was not only poisonous but contained radioactive energy too, so there was no way a mere gas mask could stop it. The only way one could withstand Irradiate was by possessing absurdly high poison resistance or by wearing an artifact that could protect them from poison damage altogether.
‘I should go around destroying all of the tanks on their backs,’ Siegfried thought. He was certain that the tanks were the key component of the enemy’s Doping Gas Mask.
He went on a rampage, destroying the tanks on their backs.
Eventually, the Oberg Guild’s executive members blocked his path.
“This is as far as you’ll go.”
“Do you think you can take all of us on?”
“I won’t permit you to cause anymore troubles.”
Heh.
Siegfried smirked after seeing his enemies.
Flash!
He cast Absolute Zero, and a bright light completely engulfed the executive members.
“...!”
Absolute Zero froze and afflicted them with the Frozen status ailment. This was a skill that couldn\'t be resisted unless one had absurdly high water resistance.
Whoosh!
Siegfried threw his +13 Vanquisher’s Grasp and controlled it with Flying Sword to smash the heads of his enemies.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
His frozen enemies helplessly crumbled into pieces of ice on the ground.
“Stop that bastard!”
“Kill him first!”
“We must kill him at all costs!”
The Oberg Guild members rushed at Siegfried after seeing the latter\'s massacre.
Chwaaaak!
Siegfried spread his +10 Black Crow Wingsuit open and unleashed one thousand projectiles.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud...!
The Oberg Guild members turned into pincushions and fell dead to the ground.
Wooong!
Chwaaak!
Siegfried then used Flying Sword to recover the projectiles that he had thrown to kill the Oberg Guild members.
“T-That guy is a monster...!”
“This is insane...”
The remaining Oberg Guild members were shocked, but Siegfried couldn\'t care less about their feelings.
“I lost money today... I’m going to kill all of you... every single one of you...” Siegfried muttered the same thing over and over again under his breath. The fury he felt from losing his +10 Real Quad-Turbo Set drove him to the brink of madness.
